British tabloid The Sun claims that Arsenal midfielder and Belarus international Alexander Hleb (27) will today be presented as new player of Barcelona.

Hleb agreed a four-year contract with Barcelona worth 4 million euro a year. Barcelona will pay Arsenal a transfer fee of 15 million euro° with a possible extra 3 million euro based on appearances and trophies.

British tabloid News of the World claimed yesterday that Hleb, who will start training with Barcelona this week, has said goodbye to his Arsenal team-mates a few days ago.

A Barcelona source is quoted as saying: "Alexander was upset at leaving Arsenal. He shook hands with everyone but Cesc and some of the other boys weren’t there so he could say cheerio in person."
